Simple ideas. Solid engineering.
@ianthetechie there is also Kamatera
Jailrun takes the wheel 🫡
This release drops Bastille, gives Jailrun full control over the jail lifecycle, and introduces "smart provisioning" for faster and more predictable updates.
@ianthetechie Our current top priority is “remote targets” support, including FreeBSD as a native host. QEMU will soon be just one of several supported targets, with Jailrun able to provision and orchestrate host, QEMU, bhyve, and remote setups the same way, with the same ergonomics. You’ll even be able to “move” or “join” jails between them, starting locally and moving to remote when needed. Keep an eye on upcoming updates.
@ianthetechie Strictly speaking, you’re right about TCG. Jailrun started as a PoC to bring jails to macOS, and I personally use it instead of Colima + Docker Compose for my local development needs. I later added Linux support because I also use Fedora and wanted the same environment there. FreeBSD as a host has its own use cases, Jailrun runs everything in QEMU, fully isolated from the base system. Better wording would be “with a fallback to TCG”. Does that address your concern?
⚡️ Part 1 clearly struck a nerve. Part 2 is out! https://hypha.pub/back-to-freebsd-part-2

Jailrun's built-in mesh network opens up some truly fantastic possibilities. Like spinning up a private Matrix server on your laptop, accessible to your peers worldwide. No domain or cloud, just a few simple configs.
@dexter well, could Typst in Vim count as a console-based word processor? Not really WYSIWYG, but the rendered output is exactly what we’d expect.
